We stayed for 2 nights in Anglesea, and had some terribly oily fish and chips. I think I've gone off fish and chips as a result! The park was massive and very nice. Full of families having a weekend away. The second day we did a bit of a playground crawl and Ben played with a new friend for a couple of hours (friend come, friend go).
Then on to Kennett River, stopping at Lorne to explore and have lunch. Lorne was charming and we enjoyed our walk across the suspension bridge and along the foreshore to the jetty.
Now, Kennett River is a jewel! An older style park with a cafe across the road. Lots of birds everywhere. Ben came running back from the playground, very excited, because a koala ran from a tree nearby, and leapt up into another tree and started eating. We soon spotted three more koalas. How exciting! They aren't easy to photograph with a phone though.
The koalas seem to always be in the area although not always in the park. This does mean that there are a constant stream of tour buses stopping with groups of tourists standing about on the nearby roads with seeds in their hands and parrots on their heads (mostly king parrots). A bit annoying if you are venturing out in your car!
We returned to Lorne on our second day to see Erskin falls and the amazing Teddy's lookout.
That night we ventured out in search of the Kennett River glow worms. We crept down a river path into a lovely rainforest gully and waited for dark, sitting on a log. Dark takes a long time to come when you are sitting on a log. Eventually we spotted a few glowing spots and Ben said, 'great, I've seen them, can we go now?' So we traipsed back to the road, and there were hundreds of gorgeous blue glowing dots all over the embankment! So pretty!
